Feather Cocktail 1950s Vintage Hats for Women for sale | eBay。This is truly a unique cocktail hat from the fashionable 1950s\'! The round and brimless ivory mesh structure is covered with ivory narrow bands woven with shiny sequins and made into larger bands of \"lace\" with a beautiful pattern. There is a round \"stovetop\" structure at the center top, creating a dramatic look. To finish off this fashionable look there is a green ostrich feather that cascades sideways towards the front. What an elegant look! Daytime hats were de rigueur for women in the 1930s- 1950s’, except for more formal late afternoon events (art openings, cocktail parties, tea dances etc.) when a daytime hat just did not work with a cocktail dress. When Hollywood costume designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Mr. John paired a new, smaller hat with cocktail dresses in several movies, women of fashion around the world eagerly followed suit. Cocktail hats reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s. There is no designer label, indicating it was a custom-made creation.

This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years.
